How do you entertain yourself with hula hops and wine? Anyhow, I guess the question is what is the thickness of the body between the bottom of the cavity and the back of the body, you wouldn't want to punch through! That's one big capacitor on there, what is it?
I guess the challenge is not to spill much...unless you are doing it to cut down your alcohol consumption.Originally Posted by Andyxlh
I had the same issue and had to get the trusty Ozito rotary tool to chew up the newly laid copper tape.
Measure the switch and then the depth of the body to work out if you have enough room.
Then measure the cavity to work out how much deeper it has to go.
cheers, Mark.
My wife is a special, talented lady hahaha. She hula hoops semi professionally as a burlesque performer so she was practicing in the back yard and had a few glasses while she was doing it. Just to be clear, these were happening alternately. She wasn't trying to drink while spinning a hoop. That could have got messy.
Rough measurement says there is about 10mm of wood between the bottom. If it wasn't polished I would use a router to trim out 5 or 6mm to get clearance, but I don't want to risk scratching the finish up now so much effort has gone in to it. Using a chisel just seems way too risky with such a small tolerance.
Capacitor is a "Russian" paper in oil cap (K42Y-2). Old surplus military grade components. I bought a stack of them a few years ago and they are very good quality (and they look pretty cool too).
